Weather for Vancouver

Best time to visit:

Vancouver enjoys a maritime climate, with mild winters and warm summers ensuring that the city is green throughout the year. You’ll rarely see snow in the city, but if you do visit in winter, there will be plenty of white stuff for skiing and snowboarding on the mountains to the north (bear in mind this will be falling as rain downtown).

Spring and autumn can see some gorgeous days, but you will need your umbrella. Summer brings continuous spells of sunny, hot weather accompanied by long, light evenings. This is the best time to make the most of Vancouver’s outdoor lifestyle and the BC wilderness.

Actual Forecast Location: We have 830+ weather locations on the worldtravelguide.net website. Where no exact location is available we have used the nearest appropriate forecast point.

Symbols indicate the predominant weather for the day in question, calculated based on a weighting of different types of weather. So if a day is forecast to be sunny with the possibility of a brief shower, then we will see a sunny or partly cloudy symbol rather than a rain cloud. For the purpose of this forecast, 'day' is the entire 24 our period 00:00 to 23:59

The maximum temperature is the highest temperature forecast between dawn and dusk, and the minimum temperature is the lowest temperature expected from dusk on the day in question to dawn the next day. The temperature is in °C, or Celsius.

Wind speed and direction are the conditions expected at midday. Wind direction is based on a 16 point compass. W, SW, SSW, etc. The wind direction states where the wind originates. Wind speed is listed in MPH or miles per hour.

Humidity levels indicates how much water vapour the air contains compared to the maximum it could contain at that temperature. As a general guide:

0 to 30 is very low
31 to 50 is low
51 to 70 is moderate to low
71 to 80 is moderate
81 to 90 is moderate to high
91 to 100 is high
